Morning warning?

  

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning?

Whew, it was an intense day with a tsunami warning issued after an earthquake near Cape Mendocino.  The tsunami warning covered a large swath of the West Coast from Florence, Oregon, to Davenport, California.

The only surge measurement I've heard about so far was 9 cm at Arena Cove (near Point Arena) at 11:45 a.m.

This brought back memories of the Tōhoku tsunami in 2011 and the Tonga tsunami in 2022.  I posted a few photos and some info in 2022, so if you'd like to review that post, see "Tsunami surges" on 16 January 2022.
